First things first. I expected this book to be epically bad. Like cringe worthy, I must mock it, bad. It wasn't. As a fan of SOA I think that most female fans of the show would get into this book. The trading, and using women as sex thing gets to me a bit. So yeah be warned, this book contains some hot stuff up to a point, and some scary stuff that follows and I'm not talking about being covered in brains. Because let's face it. I love gore. It was entertaining. And, I find myself wanting to read the sequel. So yeah, it must have had a much larger impact on me than I thought.
